original deed (enclosed in paperwork) and MCL-Secti9on 211.7b. This is all on 80 acre

parcel which

| hobby farm and grow Lavender and tree's on. It has no boundaries that

divide the 3 acres from the other 77 acres. trails are cut out and form a pathway all

around the homestead. It has been this way in my family for over 100 years.

| only

divided 3 acres because of loan requirements when

| got a loan on house. This has

already been litigated by the Tribunal Board, and they found for plaintiff in that case. itis

same homestead issue. Included is Denial letter from county board, Petition to Board of

Review, Denial petition of Veterans Exemption, and copy of Deed to the property in

question.
